I only have three tubes, if I look away from my main gear and a guest is wearing a tube top and tube socks. Hmm, that does not work, nevermind.

I am a huge fan of Zevon, I remember buying his second album Excitable Boy on vinyl, I still have it. I already owned his debut album. Earlier I mentioned Walter Tevis, Werewolves of London is part of a famous scene in The Color of Money.

Have you tried changing tubes? Are you playing a bass heavy track? Do you see the movement when no music is playing?

Thanks for the assist. No to changing tubes, only have the stock ones. (I know, purgatory awaits me for not having multiple tube options)
It was actually Sarah McLachlan playing when I noticed it (Angel), and only at moderate volume.
The videos I took were without any signal.

The fact there is no signal is a great clue! I want to give this more thought. Chances are no harm is being done but I suspect it is power or power supply related now.

Does it happen in passive and differential buffer modes, or only in tube output mode?

Discogs: Too expensive and shipping from Netherlands adds to the cost.

HD Tracks: No.

Thanks, but I've already secured a lossless copy to go with my AAC lossy one.

Yeah, not a big fan of apple I must say and I think you came to a fair and just solution.

As I recall tube output mode only, you can read back to get the original description. But now I know it happens with no signal.

Only in tube mode. No signs of it in SS.
It was both channels.

Does it do this with all sources/inputs?

Was only using Bluesound Node 2i, didn't try the T/T

Thanks @Paladin79 @Ripper2860 and @33na3rd .... I know we probably shouldn't turn the thread into a tech support chat (unless we are aiming for 10k sooner ) but I just reached out in case it was tube vagaries perhaps.

Sweet! The CV455 works fine (and sounds great) in Vali 2 OG and I was hoping it would work well in Vali 3 too.

The CV4033 (re-based flying leads) should also . I still have a pair (from Mjolnir 2 ownership days). They preceded the CV455. It might be time ....

 

[jonathan c]

You guys are going to make these rare tubes, even rarer.
Soon it will be cheaper to buy a pair of Tyrs, than to retube a Vali 3!

Shame!

.... try Folkvangr ....
